2 Operation guidance

 Installation and connection of the device Connect the power and video input source correctly, power on the device.

 Network Connection and Configuration The simplest way is that the encoder accesses the network by wired mode, and the device automatically gets an IP address from the network. Without any settings for the device, the encoder can be automatically found and pulled by other NDI devices in the network.

If you want to set up the network manually, when using wired connection mode, you can use the device failsafe IP address (192.168.1.168) to log on to the WEB page for setting up; at the same time, for convenience of operation, you can also connect the device's own WiFi hotspot to configure device through other WiFi terminal,such as mobile phone or pad. If you use the wireless network push flow, you must first log on to the device web Page to set up WiFi.

 NDI Pulling stream NDI has the function of automatic discovery. After the encoder is normally connected to the network, other NDI-supporting playback tools (such as Newtek studio monitor, OBS, vMix) can be used to automatically discover the encoder and pull its NDI video stream directly.

 Other streaming service If necessary, you can also configure the device to push video streams such as RTMP, UDP, HLS, etc..

4 Installation and connection

4.1 Power connection

Use the standard power adapter (DC 12V) to connect the device, after power on, the device charges the built-in battery. Press the power switch on the device for more than 3 seconds. The power light flashes and the device starts up. If it is used in the mobile status, it can be powered by the built-in battery directly. Press the power switch to start working (the built-in battery can last for about 4 hours).

About built-in battery:

1. While the device is powered on, connected with the power adapter, the device is powered by the adapter. The battery is not charging.

2. While the device is powered off, connected with the power adapter, the battery will be charging.

About fan

1. While the device is powered on, the fan will start working when reaches a certain temperature. While the device is powered off, the fan is working while charging.

Note: Please use the standard power adapter provided. Using other unqualified power

supplies may damage the device.

4.2 Video signal connection

Connect the SDI/HDMI signal from a source (such as a camera) to the input port of the device through a cable.

N1: SDI input; N2: HDMI Input

4.3 Network connection

Plug the USB to RJ45 adaptor into the USB port of the device. The network port is connected to the switch, or it can be directly connected to the computer network.

N Series Encoder·User Manual

5 Login and network configuration

5.1 Login to the device through Ethernet

First connect the USB to RJ45 Ethernet port of the NDI encoder and the computer to the same switch, or connect the encoder directly to the computer network port. Then configure the encoder and computer to the same network segment so that the computer can access to the web page of the encoder.

The default management IP address of the encoder is 192.168.1.168（This is the failsafe address of the device. Generally, do not modify this IP address.）. If the IP address of the computer is not in the network segment of 192.168.1.*, please set the IP address of the computer network port to 192.168.1.*.

Open the WEB browser, directly input the encoder's IP address (default is 192.168.1.168) or the URL http://192.168.1.168 and press Enter to open the login interface. After opening the page, an authentication dialog will pop up, please fill in the username and password, the default username is admin, the default password is admin, and then click "Login".

Note: Due to the browser compatibility issues, it may cause the web page display abnormal, it is

recommended to use Chrome and Firefox.

After login, the encoding and function parameters can be set on the encoder management web page. The page is shown as below:

N Series Encoder·User Manual

5.2 Log in to the device through the WiFi hotspot

In order to facilitate user management, the user can also connect to the device through WiFi terminal . The device comes with a WiFi hotspot by default. Hotspot name is “CAST_AP” and the hotspot password is “12345678”. You can use a WiFi terminal such as a mobile phone or laptop to connect to this hotspot to log in and manage the encoder device. After connecting to this hotspot, you can log in to the management interface of the encoder by entering http://192.168.250.254 in the browser of your mobile phone or laptop.

Note: The WiFi hotspot function is recommended only for starting use and for convenient log in

to the device. In the process of streaming with WiFi, Please do not to use the hotspot function to avoid affecting the streaming.

5.3 Network configuration

The encoder supports both Ethernet and WIFI. The two networks use separate network cards, which can be configured with IP addresses. The configured IP addresses can be used for network streaming and management of encoders. The specific configuration of the two networks is described in detail below.

N Series Encoder·User Manual

5.3.1 Ethernet

The encoder can provide an Ethernet access through a USB to RJ45 converter. This port can be configured with an IP address and default setting is DHCP . It will automatically get a complete IP address, gateway and DNS according to this LAN. Click "Network & Service Settings", click "Network Manager" to enter the following interface, you can see the IP address with Ethernet.

In addition to the way of DHCP , the encoder also supports manual IP assignment. To change the IP of the wired network, click “Configure” button in the Ethernet to enter the interface for configuring the IP. There are two ways to get the address, one is DHCP, and the other is to manual. To use DHCP to automatically obtain IP, you must first ensure that the router or switch has enabled the DHCP service. This method is simple and convenient, but the IP obtained by DHCP changes continuously, and you cannot directly know what IP address the encoder gets. To use manual, you need to enter a fixed IP to the encoder, and this IP address is fixed as long as the encoder does not restore the factory settings, this method is more stable. Therefore, the two methods have their own advantages, and can be selected accordingly.
